There is quite a little stir
among the people now about
the disease that is raging thru
the country, killing so many
horses and mules, and nearly
everybody is vaccinating their
stock. It is time to be alarmed
about it.
Messrs. A. H. Jones and T.
C. Wadley went to Graham
Friday evening after vaccine
for their stock, and G. W. Gow-
ens went Saturday for the same
for his stock.
Nearly everybody has quit
using milk and butter in the

Mrs. G. W. Gowens and baby,
Well here comes old Johnnie

six more scores.
Graham came back strong,
however, and before the ses-
sion ended had brought in
enough to make the score ten
to nine in their favor.
The hitting of Murray for
Graham and Lamb for Jacks-
boro, were features of the
game.
Considering that the Graham
boys had not played a game
in something like thirty days
it was a good game, after all.

Have you inspected the stock
of your merchant and found
this to be true? If not, why
not be fair enough to do so, and
if you do not find what you
want tell him so frankly and
give him an opportunity to or-
der for you. Possibly he will
make a small commission on
the sale. He is surely entitled
to do so as much as the out-of-
town man. But more than all
else he will be grateful for your
moral support.
Ask him if I am not right.
Lucille, spent Saturday night
" and Sunday with Mrs. G. W.
McCallister in the Miller Bend
community, who is quite sick.
We hope this good lady will
soon be restored to good health.
Miss Anna Belle Wadley
burned her face very badly Sun-
day.
No Sunday school Sunday at
Lower Tonk on account of the
scare about the stock.
Many of you complain about
the poor shopping facilities of
your home town, but did it
never occur to you that you are
to a large measure responsible
for this lack ? Your local stores
are dependent upon the patron-
age extended by you and other
community consumers. If you
and your neighbors send your
orders away, how can you ex-
pect your stores to be up to
the mark? No merchant can
improve his business without
the co-operation of his patrons.
Furthermore, when you send
your money out of town for
goods, you are taking it away
from your own community in-
terests,—your schools, churches
and public welfare. Every dol-
lar you expend at home is an
investment for your own good,
and that of your families, as it
helps to make up the financial
integrity of a community.
You may argue that you
spend so little money that your
“mite” will not be missed, but
let me assure you that you are
mistaken. It is the little grains
of sand that make the seashore,
—the little bolts that help to
keep the skyscraper together.
Your “little” is needed to build
up the bulwarks of local com-
mercial prosperity. Above all
else, your merchants need your
moral support, for without this
they cannot succeed.
Let us get down to facts. Why
do you trade away from home?
Because you think you can do
better, or you have an idea you
cannot find what you want in
your local stores. Very well.

Some of our baseball fans
may not agree with us when we
say Saturday’s game was a
good one, but we are just old
fashioned enough to like to see
the batters swat the ball and
run; it puts more ginger in the
game and gives a fellow a
chance to yell a little. It isn’t
very interesting just to see one
batter after another get up and
fan the breeze three times and
then sit down. We like good
pitching too, but don’t want it
so good that it constitutes the
whole game.
In the last half of the sev-
enth inning Graham had five
scores and Jacksboro three,
but with the opening of the
eighth the real swatfest com-
menced and the boys from
Jacktown came near losing ev-
five miles northeast of Pick-
wick. That is the best I can
tell you.
Say Rainy Day have you
ever been to Lucille? If you
haven’t I don’t guess I know
you. I wish all of us writers
knew one another, don’t you?
I sure do feel sorry for Mary
if she has lost a sweetheart.
I know her all right.
Say June Roses how is Roy
getting along? I hope he will
be up by the time I hear from
this.
Uno you said those wild
men came south. I haven’t
seen anything of them yet, but
heard lots of noise in the weeds
and just suppose that it was
some of them.

tune to lose a fine colt Thurs-

On last Monday evening the
class of Mrs. V. E. Eddleman
entertained the class of Mrs.
Isaacs. The cause of this event
was the result of a contest be-
tween the two classes, the class
of the latter being the winner.
The girls were requested to
meet at the beautiful home of
Mrs. Eddleman at 6:30, where
the boys were waiting with
the float, and a big basket of
edibles. The crowd went from
there to the violet grounds and
for a short time before supper
played numerous outdoor games
the one attracting the most at-
tention being the laughing
game, in which Elver Stone
proved to be the central at-
traction, he being so versatile.
After this the best hour of the
evening came, “suppertime.”
The supper consisted of sliced
breakfast bacon cooked over a
camp-fire and delicious sweet-
bread cooked by the teacher
of the class entertaining and
punch w’ith vanilla wafers as
